I'm a trans woman in the PSL too and we had to build our branch, but it was worth it. We've been able to take things to a whole new level locally in a way that would not have been possible prior.

I love my transgender comrades, especially @da_gay_pussy_eatah@hexbear.net

You need to help build the organs for a revolutionary body to overthrow the system that's putting our trans siblings into the streets. Just helping people by working to address their immediate concerns is good and noble but it will suck you dry and leave you wondering what the point even was. This isn't some polemic, it's something I've found through practice.

I can't give you a Marxist analysis on why you would feel misanthropic except to say that trying to address the effects of capitalism while not addressing the root cause will put you into a nihilistic death spiral. You need to build a revolutionary organization and party with a vision for the future in order to be able to embrace a sense of optimism and hopefulness. I mean this seriously. If you're not practicing towards an optimistic future on a truly meaningful scale to you, then you won't be happy or feel dignified; or atleast I don't.

Obviously I'm a communist through and through, but why should I care about others outside the community when many cis people clearly aren't in the position materially to even begin to think about communism, let alone trans inclusive communism?

Being a communist isn't some identity you can pick out of a hat after you've read enough books, it's a practice, and the entire mindset here betrays a complete lack of practice. Liberation demands that we find and work hard to build movements that include us and cis people, it's cishet and queer solidarity that will eventually deliver the goods.

If this is how you feel, you need to organize. If you're already organizing and this is how you feel where you live, you need to find somewhere new to organize. You don't fight white capitalism with black capitalism, and you don't fight cishet capitalism with rainbow capitalism. Organize, you'll meet the most wonderful people you've ever met.

Red Rat Cinema is the goated and obvious answer.

OP if you don't use this I will

@Civility@hexbear.net thoughts?

What controversy?

You have a lot of different things you mention, but, here's atleast one thing I can talk about off the top of the dome.

That LGTB and racism are irrelevant to the movement (which I don't really think is the general feeling, but still have been told several times)

This is not a concrete Marxist conclusion, this is an error often made called class reductionism. Class reductionism is the error of analysis that says that the only relevant conflict in our time is just class conflict (I.e. workers vs bourgeoisie) and that other things like anti-imperialism or anti-racism or feminism or queer liberation are distractions.

However, the reality is that the oppression of ethnic minorities, queer people, women, immigrants, and the colonized actually are class issues which manifest in a different way. These are social inventions that have evolved over time as tools for the ruling class to divide the working class; but it's not be ignoring these things that we unify as a class. Instead anti-racism, LGBTQ liberation, women's liberation etc are essential positions for any socialist to have because these issues are issues which affect the working class.

Women's Liberation is necessary because the ruling class uses the oppression of women to divide and subjugate us. Black and brown liberation is necessary because the ruling class uses racism and national chauvanism to divide and subjugate us. LGBTQ liberation is necessary because the ruling class uses queerphobia to divide and subjugate us. These are not distractions, but fighting these things is essential to connect to regular people who experience these things on a daily basis.

For more information, especially pertaining to black liberation in the US, this liberation news article has some good context and history.

Definitely try docker, it's made it ultra reliable for me

It depends where you are, Tier One cities can have some pretty expensive food but yeah, I would eat like a queen for 20-25 kuai in a relatively smaller city (1mil pop) from hole in the wall shops

This is your body on Plur1bussy

Dang I didn't know that

Interesting article, but all I can think when I read it is that it feels performative. I understand change doesn't happen overnight, but Mozilla Foundation, you have the ability to restructure your nonprofit and your projects around a democratic model that would better be able to avoid mistakes like dropping the Servo team.

It's time to Plurb
